FLINT, Michigan — Kamrin Gold is one of Flint Carman-Ainsworth’s greatest volleyball players in school history.

There’s no disputing it. The stats don’t lie.

Gold leaves C-A with three records.

She has the most kills (836), the highest amount of digs (670) and she broke the service ace record with 129 as a freshman in 2008.

She was originally a Grand Valley State University commit but decommitted last month.

Gold hopes to decide on another college by the next signing date which is set in April.

Her top schools are: Tennessee, Georgia, West Virginia, and Mississippi State.

“It’s nothing against Grand Valley, I just think I want bigger and better,” said Gold. “I want to be pushed and I want to not be so comfortable and I think that’s what I’m really looking for in order to grow as a person and as a volleyball player.”

Gold is the only player to earn first-team all-conference and all-region honors in each of her four seasons under head coach Barb Hurand at Carman-Ainsworth.

This season, Gold led the Cavaliers over .500 for the first time in five years with a 26-23-5 overall record.

“She’s a very special player,” Hurand said. “I think she’s definitely the No. 1 player in Genesee County without a doubt.”
